Also let us know if you are presenting your work, and if so, if you would like to compete for a $100 presentation award for best undergraduate poster or best undergraduate oral presentation.

April 9: Late Abstract submission is available for oral presentations! About a dozen openings remain for oral presentations other than Symposium presentations. The poster sessions are full. Because the number of openings is restricted, please first contact the Chair of the Program Committee, Gerry Adams at gadams3@unl.edu and obtain apassword in order to precede in your submission of an abstract.

March 31: It has come to our attention that the link to abstracts that appeared on the bottom of the abstract acknowledgement email that you received is incorrect. It links to the BSA web site instead of the MSA site. To view your abstract, change “botany” to “MSA” in the URL. For example, where it says “You may view this abstract online at http://2014.botanyconference.org/engine/search/74.html“, change “botany” to “MSA”. We apologize for the confusion.
